Copyright, Copyleft [23:35]

So many pretty pictures on the internet, all just a click away! When is it OK to use those images in your presentations and projects? What, you mean there are rules?

Thanks to those of you who attended our workshop, "Copyright, Copyleft," earlier this semester. We gave a quick rundown on digital media and intellectual property rights. We talked about common pitfalls to be avoided and showed how to find images you can use with impunity.

In case you missed the session, or if you were there and want a refresher, we have an excellent video for you. You can find the workshop recording and other resources in support of the workshop on the CAT Base wiki.

Any questions? Just ask. We love a good question.

In our two-day “bootcamp,” Xavier faculty explored the potential benefits and risks of artificial intelligence (AI), including the use of AI to improve their teaching and research.

really engaging (and intermittently mind-blowing) ... the best 8 hours I spent this semester

We hope that even faculty who were unable to attend may have a similar experience, and so we are providing some videos and resources on CAT Base, the new and improved CAT+FD wiki.

Published on Leave a comment on ICYMI: Mastodon and Beyond

Social media ain’t what it used to be. Actually, it never was: the fix was in from the beginning. The giant platforms of today were founded with the explicit purpose of making a profit at our expense. It doesn’t have to be this way. In this workshop, we take a look at a social media platform built on an entirely different model, with an entirely different premise. We'll also take a glance at the implications and opportunities for teaching, scholarship, and higher education in general.

Note that Mastodon is developing rapidly, so this video will probably be very dated very soon, but we hope it gives you a quick picture of where things stand at the current moment.
